You have all heard the standard questions:
Why are you down here at my house if you are surveying for that guy up the street?
What are they building?
Mister, take my picture!
Do you work for the Town?
Did you tie into the bench mark down at the corner?
Well, yesterday I heard a new one. I was in a busy Westchester Co. town, setting up a tripod and target in front of a construction trailer. 3 guys are standing around, talking as 3 guys do. One yells over:
"How many times have you had Lyme Disease?"
That was a first!

Working just south of Bismarck, on the Missouri and we stop the boat at the shore; we mill about getting gear together to search for a corps monument and we get up top and find some campers; first question is "did you find the missing body down there?"
"Didja ask Cecil whar da corner wuz?"
"Who's Cecil?"
"He's my Daddy's uncle's barber's best customer's son-in-law's brother's banker's neighbor's mama's niece's cousin's best friend's halfwit brother. But he knows whar da corner wuz cuz his Grandpa showed it to him the same day that Wesley Johnson got caught at the motell wid his brother's wife's cousin's perzunal trainur."
